With World Diplomacy virtually shut down, and every country basically ruling themselves, you would think the Government had all the control, but that was far from the reality. Not only was Technology the forefront in everyday life, but the exploitation of the consumers is where the power came from. Big corporations loomed over the average person every day, and it led to people hiding away in alcoves far away from where they worked their jobs.
This world is a world where everyone kept their heads down. No one protested. People just lived their lives and minded their own business, and the reason isn’t because it was a “Utopia,” it was because of escapism and fear.
The two biggest corporations were the World’s largest competitors. One controlled all of Social Media and Video Gaming, (CyberNet), where the other controlled all of Hollywood and Music, (Rockster Studios). The sickness of constant entertainment became an epidemic that had continued since the beginning of the 21st Century, and was going to be carried over to the 22nd. Things like Virtual Reality had taken over actual dating and relationships and people were constantly “plugged in” to their devices, getting direct dopamine hits so the human body no longer needed to do it. Being “Human” was slowly fading away, leaving rich corporations feeding us these entertainment rulers of the world. And no one cared, as long as they were living their fantasies. Cybernet and Rocketeer Studios were at each other’s throats most of the time, fighting over the public’s entertainment addiction.
But in this seemingly lawless, inhuman world, the need for a good assassin was paramount. There were many who entered this field for quick cash to feed their addictions, so the quality of the work was subpar. Targets were being left alive, wrong targets were hit, and crime scenes were infested with lots of evidence because of blatant sloppiness.
But some assassins were exemplary at their work. Two in particular. One man. One Woman.
As she was leaving, he entered. His eyes alone stopped her in her tracks. She regained control over herself, and left the bar, but the picture of that haunting, exquisite man still loomed in her mind over the next few weeks, up until the next time she saw him.
Now the beauty of Nicolette’s mind is that she was not sucked into the “entertainment coma” that the world had fallen into, that’s what made her so good at her job. There were so few like her, who still loved to read actual books, and enjoyed nature. But that didn’t make her a good person. Down to the root of her was a vindictive manipulator, but that was mostly for show, she probably could be redeemed by the right person……
And there he was again. Sitting in another bar, waiting. She didn’t notice him at first, because he was that good at keeping his presence hidden. What was he doing here? It couldn’t be a coincidence that he was at the site of her last target, is it?
She eyed the group of thugs having their drinks and laughing. They were her targets for the night. The last mark were taken out really quickly, where she first saw this mystery man. Why was he here again? Something seemed to be off about the whole situation that didn't sit right with her, and she always knew to trust her instincts.
